WELCOME
TO THE USCGC BOUTWELL (WHEC-719)

GREETINGS FROM THE COMMANDING OFFICER

Welcome aboard shipmate! CGC BOUTWELL is a High Endurance
Cutter homeported in San Diego, California. BOUTWELL serves the American public by
conducting Law Enforcement, Military, and Humanitarian Service operations in
the maritime domain focusing on Safe, Efficient, and Effective mission
accomplishment. A High Endurance Cutter like BOUTWELL is an excellent
platform for all new Coast Guard members to see how each of our diverse
enlisted ratings contributes to operational excellence. In addition, every
member of the crew gets to visit places they might never otherwise see and
has numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. Onboard
mentors, especially our First Class and Chief Petty Officers, help create
Individual Development Plans that map out goals leading to advancement and
recognition while we work together to achieve important national and
international objectives. I encourage you to learn more about the BOUTWELL
and the opportunities available in the U.S. Coast Guard as you consider
joining our nation's oldest continuous seagoing service!
